I think I know!!! @Zambroski might want one... since it's a CAT 50 minutes ago, krom said: Even lynx has a snow x sled this year, but AC doesn't ... The ZR4000 CCU (voltage regulator with reverse control) has been NLA for a long time.. Textron discontinued it while customers were still making payments on their new sled. That part being discontinued also makes every twin spar without engine reverse scrap. when your customers happily pay $20K for a sled and you sell more of them than the green Cat brand... you can do shit like this. sounds like a company that really cares about their customers Quote

It looks like one of those stupid E sleds and I don't care for the beaver tale at all. I may pick up a Cat SX yet this year. I'm really not interested in rebuilding another fucking doo.

I'm fairly certain I've seen 5 or 6 new ones now listed for sale. Or this not raced 2023. https://www.facebook.com/share/KfgMpEJPzxFkAYhR/ Edited November 3 by racinfarmer Quote

God damn doll handed nooks! it's funky looking, bet it rips though. going to be a sea of red and yellow on the track this season... and very little green. I saw Zandstra had a 23 Cat for sale in SX buy/trade/sell yesterday and that was the only one recently listed... if you want to deal with that crew. 1 minute ago, krom said: Textron started running out zuke parts 3 or 4 years ago.

Honestly, the race teams trying to stay Cat must be getting fed up with this shit. It's years goings on now. I picked up a sled from one team that sold their fleet then had to buy them all back just to race again because Textron voted to step out of racing for a year. I mean, how can you continue to be loyal anymore? With a sled that is 3rd place in almost all categories now. It makes me sad and angry but, Textron is famous for this shit. 1 Quote

I'm not that familiar with the 500, but the f6/f7/f8/ct6/ct8 cranks seals and water pump seals interchange. even the thermostat housing gaskets interchange between zuke and ac 800s Quote

I can put anyone from my wife or daughter and an experienced rider on it and they'll have a good time. if/when there's grandkids I'll get some extra lower A-arms. Quote
